Electric tractors or electric tow tractors are an important part of internal transport in greenhouse horticulture. At Royal Brinkman you can buy different brands and types of electric tuggers, each suitable for a different purpose. The range includes horticultural tractors that are operated manually and/or automatically. In this way, the electric tow tractor always meets your wishes and needs.

Electric horticultural tractors are of great value to growers in professional greenhouse horticulture. One of the biggest advantages of electric tuggers is that they are used for a large number of purposes. For example, an electric tow tractor pulls a harvesting trolley from the greenhouse to the shed or it helps you to move a roller container without any physical strain. Using an electric tow tractor increases productivity by allowing multiple carts to be loaded and unloaded simultaneously. In addition, exhaust fumes from fuel engines are also a thing of the past when using electric tow tractors. The electric tow tractors are equipped with a so-called full traction battery, so that maximum power is always available from standstill. This results in a simpler and smoother way of internal transport through the greenhouse. 

Are you looking for a new electric tow tractor? Royal Brinkman offers several electric tuggers with reliable quality brands such as Donkey van Weterings Mechanisatie and Berg Hortimotive BeTrac. Royal Brinkman supplies electric tuggers with different amounts of tractive force, able to withstand the toughest conditions in professional greenhouse horticulture. The electric tow tractors are equipped with a very high quality driving control to be able to drive away as 'smoothly' as possible with heavy loads. Although internal transport of trolleys is common with an electric tractor, the electric tractors of Verhagen Leiden are used to move Danish trolleys, trolleys or roll containers. These electric tow tractors are operated by foot and are particularly suitable for moving heavy loads over short distances. The use of electric tow tractors increases the efficiency of work around transport and at the time relieves your employees.

Royal Brinkman also offers fully automatic electric tractors - also called Automated Guided Verhicle (AVG) - for internal transport of all kinds of carts and harvesters, which can be used both manually and automatically. The Elektrotrekker BeTrac is able to drive fully autonomously over an induction wire, which is laid in the floor. This means that internal transport in the greenhouse is fully attuned to the loading and unloading system in the premises. 

An electric horticultural tractor or tugger must be checked regularly to prevent downtime and malfunctions on the one hand and to ensure safe working conditions on the other.
